Interactive Machine Learning: Managing Information Richness in Highly Anonymized Conversation Data

Abstract

This case study focuses on an experiment analysing textual conversation data using machine learning algorithms and shows that sharing data across organisational boundaries requires anonymisation that decreases that data's information richness. Additionally, sharing data between organisations, conducting data analytics and collaborating to create new business insight requires inter-organisational collaboration. This study shows that analysing highly anonymised and professional conversation data challenges the capabilities of artificial intelligence. Machine learning algorithms alone cannot learn the internal connections and meanings of information cues. This experiment is therefore in line with prior research in interactive machine learning where data scientists, specialists and computational agents interact. This study reveals that, alongside humans, computational agents will be important actors in collaborative networks. Thus, humans are needed in several phases of the machine learning process for facilitating and training. This calls for collaborative working in multidisciplinary teams of data scientists and substance experts interacting with computational agents.

Artificial intelligence literacy in sustainable development: A learning experiment in higher education

“…However, individuals should also have capabilities to critically evaluate the impacts and effects of AI as a part of social, economic, and environmental context, not only from ethical viewpoint but also a broad perspective, as AI will be an integral part of our everyday life in any sector. AI is often referred to as a computational agent (Alamäki et al, 2019), thus it is not just a technological application, but a significant actor of communities, environments, and societies. Yi (2021) connects metacognition as a primacy competence to AI literacy, whose aim is to assist individuals in anticipation of the future of AI by adopting functional, social, and technology literacies in this process.…”

Using AI to Decrease Demand and Supply Mismatch in ITC Labour Market

“…Figure 2 presents general outline of AI powered core technology. In terms of anonymising data [4], digital twins can be used to ensure only meaningful words will be included into anonymised data. In other words, we construct Digital Twin on medical record by using e.g.…”

Exploring the challenges of and solutions to sharing personal genomic data for use in healthcare

“…The use of data is vastly growing in the healthcare sector, 24,25 and these data are increasingly being analysed by AI systems, such as machine learning algorithms. 26 The collection of genetic samples from young and working age individuals in biobanks throughout the world is gaining momentum as we speak. These anonymised data combined with phenotype data allow scientists to make libraries where an individual’s genome can be compared.…”
